The workshop was part of the VCCI-directed Supporting Businesses in Applying IT for Integration and Development in 2005-2010 project.
Hoang Van Dung, VCCI deputy chairman, emphasized the VCCI's efforts to seek and present solutions to help businesses effectively apply IT.
"With the current trend of new technology development, particularly IT, choosing the right technology is difficult for many organizations and businesses. In this context, CIOs play a particularly important role in directing IT for their businesses/organizations. With that in mind, the VCCI has launched many activities to improve the role of CIOs in their businesses/organizations. These include video conferences on CIOs, training courses for CIOs in many provinces and cities across the country and setting up a certificate framework for CIO training courses," Hoang Van Dung said.
Following the state policies for IT application promotion, speakers at the workshop proposed IT application solutions for the future, emphasizing cloud computing. Nguyen Thanh Phuc, the head of the Information Technology Application Department of the Ministry of Information and Communications, said that cloud computing allows users to hire IT services from someone in the "cloud", rather than learn or invest in the technology.
However, to foster the development and use of cloud services, businesses need to lead in making agreements and service guidance documents to improve customer understanding. The government needs to require cloud service providers to make public their services, take part in international agreements or bilateral agreements to ensure user interests, standardize services to boost the development of technology and cloud services and in so doing increase transparency and the ability to share information among state offices, said Nguyen Thanh Phuc.
Dao Dinh Kha, the director of the National Digital Signature Certification Center, said that although cloud computing is becoming attractive to users, security remains the biggest barrier that will determine if cloud computing will be widely adopted. Given risks such as an unmanageable operational environment and non-transparent applications, cloud computing requires appropriate security policies that match consumer security policies and authentication for both providers and users.
Le Trung Nghia, the head of the IT Application Promotion Department of the Ministry of Science and Technology, addressed information security and safety in cloud computing, which relates to a collection of policies, technologies and control that have been put in place to protect data, applications and infrastructure.
An Intel representative said that cloud computing is a practical trend that businesses need to look forward in the future. Intel has never stopped renewing and improving its leading production technology in the micro-processor architecture to improve micro-processing capacity and reduce power consumption. All changes are to strengthen the network, virtualize data centers and facilitate the cloud computing trend, said Frank Martinez, Intel global director for digital content and government computing programs./.
